Description:

Let's make something!

For this swap, make 4 envelopes for your partner. The theme is spring.

The details:

  • 3 envelopes: large enough for standard first-class mail (min. size 3.5” x 5”). Use card stock, old calendars, magazines, pretty papers, and so forth. Just make sure they can weather some postal abuse. “Gumming” the flaps is optional.

  • 1 envelope: smaller size for coins, stickers, stamps, small memos, and so forth.

There's plenty of lead time, so you can get started now. Here are some links for making envelopes LINK1 and templates LINK2 LINK3. Or you can simply take apart envelopes you already have and use them as templates. EDIT: Find more ideas below!

Be sure to think spring for this swap.

Important: I review profiles with a checklist, so if you have late swaps, 15 or more open swaps, etc., you’ll be dropped from this swap. When in doubt, contact me.

❤️ Please rate upon receipt of the swap; no one likes to hunt down ratings.
💛 I'm happy to angel if you're flaked on in any of my swaps.
💙 If you ever have issues with another UHM member, be sure to contact me.

I use double-sided peel off tape on my envelope flaps.

I used to make my envelopes by taking received ones apart and using them as templates, but now I have an Envelope Punch Board which I highly recommend if you like to make envelopes. All you need to do is cut your paper square and then this board allows you to make any size envelope. It punches the notches and has a score tool so you can easily fold up the sides. It's so cool !!

Great ideas!

I have one, too, and it's one of my favorite and most-used crafting tools. :)

I love my punch board too. I just purchased the mini envelope punch board. Game changer!

This morning I had never heard of an envelope punch board. Now I own one. You people are evil! :)

Evil, or awesome?
I'm going to have to check out that mini now... ;)

It just allows the ease of making pretty envelopes to be sent out into the world to brighten people's days. That's not evil, it's more like a blessing if you ask me. 😀
